HI EVERYONE!!!!! LET'S GET CHAT GOING AGAIN :)

[Mike L 86]

Hey everyone!!!!! I will be on chat at different points today. When I first joined AC 4 years ago (can't believe its been that long LOL), chat helped. It used to be always busy in there. I am not sure why it has dwindled off. Come on over and lets do some unofficial group therapy 🙂

Hello, this is my first time doing any kind of talking with anybody other than family. This past year has been the hardest for me as far as my anxiety. So many days I still believe there is something else wrong despite how many times I've been to the hospital and doctor. I've been trying to find anything that will help. Most days I feel alone and ask why can't I "fix" myself. I spend all of my time by myself (except for my kids who around and husband when he isn't working). I hate admitting it but google is my friend even tho it ACTUALLY isn't (Hope that makes sense). I'm open to any conversation, advice, anything positive!

I know exactly how you feel. My anxiety has been very bad mainly health related.  I Google constantly, it's bad. All it does is adds to my anxiety. I have recently separated from my husband after 37 years, this has made my anxiety bad. My husband was being unfaithful and it's totally devastated me. Just won't some positivity in my life. This forum is very supportive. Are you in the UK?

No I'm in the US. Most of my anxiety is over my health. I too know the affects of infidelity. I struggle with how I view myself at times because of it. I started therapy but I'm searching for a different one. Do you have any children? What are you doing to help you through your separation?

I have 1 son, and 2 young grandchildren. I've moved quite a distance from them because I didn't want to stay near my husband. I miss my son so much. I have been having alot of stomoch problems and I'm thinking I might be caeliac, I'm trying to get information on this. I was told stress can trigger it? I know it's quite common. I'm struggling at the moment, I care for my mum who has Alzheimer's as well. It's very tiring. How old are you? I'm 58.

I just turned 30 this year. I know not seeing your son is hard. For me I hate being around my kids having so many panic attacks. We have to work on getting ourselves better for our kids. I know stress plays a big part in my life. Is there anything you like to do to try to stay stress free?

i'd really like to get chat back to the way it was too.

Yes, it makes me sad to see that replies can take up to 3 or 4 days at times.  it used to be minutes or hours.  I agree on getting this place populated again.
